The suspense is killing me, who's the last one?
That's reserved for the warm up injury.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been ruled out until April after the club said he needs surgery on a hamstring injury.
Kane, 26, suffered the injury during Tottenham's defeat at Southampton on New Year's Day.
No timescale was originally given on the England captain's return but Spurs now say specialists have advised surgery is required.
He will return to training in April, two months before Euro 2020 begins.
"Following ongoing assessment by our medical staff over the past week, we can confirm that Harry Kane will undergo surgery to repair a ruptured tendon in his left hamstring," a Spurs statement said.
Kane has scored 27 goals in 31 appearances for club and country this season.
After the Southampton defeat, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said: "Everybody knows who he is, what he is, what he means for the team, the fans, the club.
"His quality, the routines that the team has playing with him, every minute of every game he doesn't play we miss, so every match that he doesn't play we're going to miss him."
Spurs are sixth in the Premier League, six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
As well as league games, Kane will miss his side's Champions League last-16 tie with Germany's RB Leipzig.

Sissoko and Kane out is a big plus.
I can see a boring 0-0 draw here.
It’s Mourinho and he’s great at killing games.
It’s definitely our best chance to beat one of his teams away from home though and we should be well rested with 8 days since our last game (not counting the u23’s win against Everton )

I made a mistake of watching almost 30 minutes of Tim Sherwood "analysis" of our upcoming game once before – never again. He's equal parts boring and biased.
. . . And wrong.
Captain bellend indeed.

Ndombele, Rose, Davies, Lloris, Sissoko and Kane. That's what they're missing. Midfield wise I think they have enough to work with, Dier, Eriksen, Alli, Winks, Lamella, they might even field Wanyama. Striking options, they now have to rely on Son and Moura. Their leftback might give them a bit of an issue, with Davies and Rose out. We are without 3 midfielders, Milner, Fabinho and Guinea's Lallana aka Keita.
I don't see Mourinho telling them to all out and attack us, so we should just keep an eye on Eriksen and their two speedy forwards that could pose a problem. They are going to have a weakened right and left back, so that's a plus for us since our main threat are our fullbacks.
Is it too much to hope that we give them a proper duffing?
Hope to see him play against us, he will be pulling out of them 50-50 challenge for sure. Haha.
No. We’re going to smash them.
No, because if they are not up for the fight, I think we will proper fuck them up along the lines of a 5 goal win, even if is at their ground. The fact that Rose and Kane are both out along with two regular midfield players somewhat makes them very .... you know.
They have Sessegnon for LB but Mourinho will probably go with a more defensive set-up and play Vertongen there as he has done recently. Aurier is their regular RB so not sure you can call it weakened .. though he is shite.
With their best LB, best two midfielders and best striker all out I am hopeful this is exactly what will come to pass. Mourinho will shrug his shoulders and say 'best team in the world'.
He'll defo set them up with four centre backs as the back four, two full backs as the wingers, two defensive midfielders and then someone pacy up front and a shithouse just behind them to foul Henderson. Just crowd the shit out of their half in the hope we can't do anything and then hope to hit us on the break.
I'm just giving you a few freebees to tempt you in before I set up my pay wall.
Here is the thing... Although I expect the win Spurs have played some of there best football when they have been missing Kane and had Heung-Min Son playing up front
1-3 and a debut goal for Minamino 😉

Apparently the stats, quoted above, suggest that's a myth.
Well if that's correct then there's certainly no surprises like klopp hinted at, at least in terms of personnel anyway.
Not this season and absolutely not under the defence-minded Mourinho but under an attack-minded Pochettino. There's next to zero chance they'll play anything other than a backs-to-the-wall-park-a-double-decker-bus game.
Yep. Think we'll win by two.
Moaninho has basically said in his pre match pressie that he was going to play his antifootball style and klopp expects the same
